About EventAlert

The addon will notify you in the middle of your screen with an icon, name of the spell that has procced, the time left on the proc and will make a subtle sound. EventAlert is also able to handle more than one proc at a time (this option was not available in previous versions).

I am not fond of addons that have very complicated installation and setups. The mod should work on install without any config, but if you wish to change any options use the following command: /ea options
To see a more detailed list of what options are avaiable to the mod, just check out the screenshot of the options pane.

Quick Backstory: I created this addon as a test for myself as my first "from the ground up" addon. Most of my coding in WoW LUA was taking other addons and just fixing them so they work from minor bugs or whatnot.

Anyhow, I needed a mod that was lightweight and did only what I wanted it to do, and that was warn me when one of my spells or talents procced something I needed. Thus, EventAlert was born. There are likely to be bugs, explosions and not so good things that may come from this mod. I'm sorry in advance! If you find a bug, please let me know so I can fix it.

Also, if anyone finds a spell/talent/etc that they want watched, please let me know and I will add it!

Greetings everyone, my name is Menio and I will be taking over the maintenance of this addon from CurtisTheGreat, the original author!

I'll start with an important note: If you used EventAlert before in your current WoW folder, you will need to delete the EventAlert.lua and EventAlert.lua.bak files located at:
\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables for this addon to work.

Above is CurtisTheGreat's original description, with updated class abilities.

6.0.1a
Bugfix: Attempted to fix an issue with alt items staying on screen after they were supposed to go away.

Hello there,Just want to say i love this addon after trying it today. But i have procs and spells that are not showing up. Firstly, when im tanking on my guardian druid, i want to be kept tracked of my Savage defense. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=62606/savage-defense But spell ID 62606 does not show up. Secondly, on my Enh shaman, I want to keep track off maelstrom weapon at 4 stacks, not just 5 stacks, is there a way to see my stacks built up? Last, I do not know the proc spell ID for the new tyrannical trinket http://www.wowhead.com/item=91400/tyrannical-gladiators-badge-of-dominance , anyone knows how I can find the spell ID of such spells so i can track my own spell IDs next time? Thanks to anyone in advance! =)

For Maelstrom Weapon, there should be a box with a number in it next to the spell from Event Alert's spell setup (Interface -> Addons tab -> Event Alert), just change it to what you want it to start showing up at (1 if you want to see it as soon as you have one stack and all the way to 5).

For Savage Defense, try spellID 132402. A little trick for this is, if you are using Wowhead to look for a spell to add, try to find a tooltip with "Buff" written over it on the spell's page. If you see that, you found the right spellID!

For the trinket it's spellID 126683, with trinkets it's a bit trickier, some of them share a spell effect, so try clicking on the "on use" or "On proc" from the tooltip and it should link you to the actual buff!

I'm also a warrior and I've been using this addon for years with no problem - I love it. But since 5.2, it has caused cripling lag whenever I am in combat, even when it's the only addon I have active. The 3/7/13 version didn't change this. Anyone have a solution?

Hello there. First of all, thank you very much for this neat addon, I've been wanting something like it for a very long time.

I do have a problem, though, or maybe I am getting something wrong. I am using it mainly to track Thrill of the Hunt procs. It tracks those procs just fine; however - is it intended that the icon disappears after the first Arcane Shot? I'd rather have it stay onscreen to track the *stacks* of Thrill as well. *Sometimes* it does that (usually if there stacks left after combat, but not always even then), but most of the time it doesn't.

If you want to track the time left on the buff, you can add spell ID 82692. If you want to track when the button lights up on the bar, it will be possible when I finish rewriting the AltItem tracking code xD

It would seem like the proc associated with Bloodsurge is causing the issue, would you happen to know if it changed in any way?

I don't seem to see any change in spellID or in the way the buff works, so I assume something else is the issue, but if you have any info on changes to the spell (being removed, no longer having stacks, not displaying on the player's buff bar, etc), it would help me out in figuring out the issue!

At the moment, I can only reccomend downloading the beta version if you aren't already using it, since there was a problem with a different warrior buff, but it seems like this is a different error caused by Bloodsurge so I can't guarantee getting the beta that fixed the deprecated spellID for "Taste for Blood" would help. :S
